LUCY'S  CANARY. 

"  SING  sweet,  my  bird ;  oh  sing,  I  pray, 

My  pretty  yellow  bird ! 
This  is  the  lovely  moijth  of  May, 

When  songs  of  birds  are  heard. 
You  droop  your  head — you  fold  your  wing, 

Though  surely  y out  are  well, 
Then,  dear%  Canary,  why  not  sing? 

Tour  sorrow  to  me  tell." 

Thus  Lucy  questioned  still  her  pet ; 

Her  eldest  sister  came, 
And  said,  "  Dear  Lucy,  do  not  fret, 

If  ill,  you're  not  to  blame : 
For  constantly  I've  seen  you  give 

Your  bird  his  drink  and  food ; 
After  your  breakfast,  I  believe ; 

My  Lucy's  kind  and  good."

Then  Lucy  gave  a  bitter  cry, 

And  quick  the  cage  took  down, 
No  seed!  no  water!  all  was  dry, 

His  life  had  nearly  flown ! 
Her  sister  took  the  drooping  bird, 

And  gently  water  gave  him, 
And  long  she  watch'd,  and  greatly  fear'd 

That  she  could  never  save  him ! 

Poor  Lucy  wept  with  grief  and  shame, — 

But,  oh,  what  joy  to  see 
The  bird  revive — and  look  the  same, 

And  perch  most  merrily ! 
"  Thanks,  dearest  sister — from  this  day, 

Before  my  breakfast,  I'll  attend 
My  precious  bird !  and  you  will  say, 

No  longer  I'm. his  careless  friend.'7 


THE  FARMER  IN  SPRING. 


THE  FARMER  IN  SPRING. 


-->  fljplHE  farmer  ma- 
A  nures  his  land; 
that  is,  having 
collected  large 
quantities  of 
dung,  mould, 
straw,  leaves, 
and  various  kinds  of  rubbish,  it  is  carted 
into  the  field,  and  thrown  down  in  heaps 
at  regular  distances;  men  then  come 
with  their  broad  forks,  called  dung  forks, 
and  spread  it  over  the  soil. 

The  next  operation  is  ploughing.     If 
you  look  at  the  plough,  you  will  see  that

it  has  pointed  and  cutting  irons  at  its 
under  part,  so  made  and  fixed,  that  they 
not  only  cut  the  soil,  as  they  pass  through 
it,  but  also  turn  it  over.  The  plough  is 
drawn  by  one  or  more  horses,  driven  by 
a  boy,  while  the  ploughman  guides  it. 

After  ploughing,  the  ground  is  har- 
rowed,— that  is  it  is  raked  all  over ;  but 
as  it  would  be  impossible  to  rake  large 
fields  in  the  same  way  as  we  rake  a  gar- 
den, a  machine  is  made,  called  a  harrow, 
which  has  sharp  teeth,  like  a  rake,  and 
this  is  drawn  over  the  ground  by  horses. 

Sometimes  the  ground  requires  to  be 
rolled,  in  consequence  of  the  clods  being 
large.  A  large  roller  is  drawn  over  the 
field,  which  breaks  the  clods  and  renders 
the  whole  surface  smooth  and  uniform. 


THE  FARMER  IN  SPRING.  1 1 

After  the  ground  has  been  thus  pre- 
pared for  the  reception  of  seed,  the  sower 
comes  and  scatters  the  seed  with  an 
even  hand.  A  skilful  sower  throws  the 
seed  with  such  exactness,  that  it  comes 
up  with  great  regularity.  In  this  task 
the  sower  commits  the  seed  to  the  earth 
with  faith  in  the  promises  of  the  Creator.

COME  away !  Come  away ! 

Flowers  are  fresh,  and  fields  are  gay. 

See  the  yellow  butterfly, 

Hanging  from  the  lilies  by ; 

Herself  a  primrose  born, 

To  give  back  spring's  full  blushing  morn. 

Come  away !  Come  away ! 
Let  us  climb  the  mountain's  brow, 
And  look  upon  the  woods  below ; 
The  broad  and  spreading  oaks  which

Amid  the  sun's  resplendent  glow ; 
Or  on  the  elm  or  gentle  willow, 
Finding  on  the  lake  a  pillow.

Fringing  yonder  western  mountain

GEOKDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

was  Saturday  afternoon, 
and  had  been  longed  for 
all  the  week  by  little  Geor- 
die,  as  he  was  called,  for 
he  was- a<, very  little  fellow. 
Geordie  had  built  himself 
a  boat,  and  had  promised 
to  give  it  a  fine  sail  in  a  pond,  not  a  great 
way  from  the  house  in  which  he  lived, 
called  the  fen  ditch. 

So  away  he  went,  before  he  had  quite 

eaten  his  dinner,  with  his  boat  in  one 

hand,  and  the  remains  of  a  slice  of  bread 

and  butter  in  the  other:  for  his  mother 

(16) 


GEORDIE'S  DOG. 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  19 

was  a  poor  womanrand  Geordie  did  not 
get  meat  every  day,  *  and  never  on  a 
Saturday. 

But  his  cheeks  were  rosy,  and  his  eye 
was  bright,  and  his  ringlets  laughed  in 
the  wind,  as  he  ran  along,  looking  at  his 
boat  with  eyes  of  delight  all  the  way,  and 
every  now  and  then  taking  a  huge  mouth- 
ful, and  then  stopping  for  breath,  for  fear 
the  dry  crumbs  should  be  blown  down 
his  chest. 

There  was  a  beautiful  breeze,  as  he 
called  it, — for  he  called  every  thing  beau- 
tiful that  pleased  him.  He  had  a  beau- 
tiful piece  of  bread  and  butter ;  and  a 
beautiful  knife ;  and  a  beautiful  pair  of 
shoes,  only  his  toes  peeped  through  them. 

He  had  a  kind,  cheerful,  and  tender 


20  GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

heart,  and  so  every  thing  appeared  beau- 
tiful to  him,  and  few  things  had  the 
power  to  make  him  discontented  or 
peevish ;  but,  just  as  Geordie  got  over 
the  warren  hills,  which  led  to  his  place 
of  destination,  he  saw  Harry  Dyke,  the 
groom  at  the  great  house  of  Lady  Clover, 
coming  over  the  swale,  as  it  was  called, 
with  several  of  the  boys  of  the  village 
dancing  about  him,  apparently  in  great 
delight. 

When  he  came  nearer,  he  found  that 
Harry  was  carrying,  wrapped  up  in  a 
piece  of  an  old  sack,  a  little  dog,  which 
Geordie  recognised  as  being  one  which 
he  had  before  seen,  with  its  two  fore- 
paws  leaning  over  the  ledge  of  the  sash- 
3 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  BOG.  21 

pane  in  Lady  Dover's  carriage,  when  she 
drove  through  the  village. 

One  of  the  boys  had  got  a  couple  of 
brick-backs,  and  a  long  piece  of  cord, 
and  seemed  very  officious.  He  called 
out  to  Harry,  "  Harry,  let  me  throw  him 
in,  will  you?  there's  a  good  fellow.  But 
won't  you  give  him  a  knock  on  the  head, 
just  one  knock  to  dozzle  him?'7 

"  Why,  they  are  going  to  drown  that 
little  pet-dog,  that  us  children  used  to 
„  say,  lived  a  great  deal  better  than  we 
did ;  and,  when  I  have  been  very  hungry, 
I  have  often  wished  I  was  Lady  Clover's 
lap-dog,  for  I  heard  say  she  sometimes 
gave  it  rump  steak  for  its  dinner,  with 
oyster  sauce."  So  thought  little  Geor- 


22  GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

die  to  himself;  he  did  not,  however,  say 
any  thing. 

"  Oh,  here  is  little  Geordie,"  said  one 
of  the  boys.  "  Geordie,  Geordie,  come 
and  have  some  sport!  we  are  going  to 
drown  a  dog  in  the  fen  ditch." 

"What  are  you  going  to  drown  it  for?" 
said  Geordie. 

"  Oh,  to  have  some  fun,  I  suppose.  No, 
it  is  not  that ;  it  is  because  my  lady  can't 
bear  the   nasty  thing — it  has   got  the 
mange  or  some  disorder.     There ;  do  not* 
touch  it.     Don't  you  smell  it?" 

The  poor  little  dog  looked  at  Geordie, 
and  tried  to  get  out  of  the  sacking,  and 
gave  a  whine,  as  if  it  would  be  glad  to 
get  away  from  its  enemies. 

"Lay  down,  you  beast,"  said  Harry, 


GEOKDIE  AND  THE^SICK  DOG.  23 

and  gave  it  a  severe  blow  on  the  head ; 
"  lay  down,  I'll  soon  settle  your  business." 

By  this  time  they  had  come  to  the  fen 
brook,  and  the  dog  was  placed  on  the 
ground,  and  taken  from  the  sack-cloth  in 
which  it  was  wrapped.  It  was  a  de- 
plorable looking  creature,  and  its  hair 
was  off  in  several  places ;  it  yelped  woe- 
fully as  it  looked  around,  while  the  boys 
began  to  prepare  the  noose  and  the 
brick-bats. 

"  Oh,  do  not  drown  him/7  said  Geor- 
die;  "pray  do  not  drown  him.  What 
are  you  going  to  drown  him  for?" 

"Why,  because  he  is  sick,  and  ill,  and 
dirty.  He  is  no  good  to  any  one,"  said 
Harry.  "  My  lady  used  to  be  very  fond 


24  GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

of  him ;  but  now  he  looks  such  an  object, 
she  says  he  is  to  be  destroy ed." 

" Give  him  to  me,"  said  Geordie,  "I'll 
have  him,  and  keep  him  till  he  gets  well 
— he  shall  have  half  my  dinner  every 
day.  Here,  little  dog,  have  this  piece  of 
bread  and  butter/' 

"  Go  away,  and  leave  the  dog  alone/' 
said  the  boy  who  had  the  cord,  "you  are 
not  going  to  spoil  our  sport.  Get  out 
of  the  way  with  you."  And  so  he  drew 
near,  and  fastened  the  cord  to  the  dog's 
neck. 

"  Oh,  do  give  him  to  me  ?  Pray  don't 
drown  him,"  said  Geordie,  "pray  do  not. 
Oh,  give  him  to  me,  I  will  make  him 
well;  indeed  I  will.  Do  let  me  have 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  25 

him?  there's  a  good  Harry  Dyke,' 7  and 
the  tears  came  into  Geordie's  eyes. 

"  Go  along,  Mr.  Dog  Doctor,"  said  Har- 
ry; "go  along  Mr.  Cry  Baby.77 

"Here,  Harry,  111  give  you  my  boat 
for  the  little  dog ;  it  is  a  beautiful  boat ; 
here,  jput  it  into  the  water  instead  of  the 
dog;  do,  do,  do;77  and  so  Geordie  thrust 
the  boat  into  Harry7s  hand,  and  without 
waiting  to  settle  the  bargain,  laid  hold 
of  the  dog. 

"  Leave  go  of  him,77  said  the  boy  with 
the  cord  and  the  brick-bats,  "  leave  go ; 
I  tell  you,  if  you  do  not,  it  shall  be  the 
worse  for  you.  Leave  go,  or 77 

"  Ay,  you  may  rap  my  knuckles,77  said 
Geordie,  "I  do  not  mind  that.  Harry 
Dyke,  Harry  Dyke,  am  I  not  to  have  the 


26  GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

dog,  and  you  have  the  boat?"  said  he, 
struggling. 

"  Oh,  I  do  not  care  about  it,"  said 
Harry ;  "  take  him,  if  you  will  have  him ; 
the  boat  will  do  for  my  brother  Tom,  and 
I  wish  you  joy  of  the  bargain." 

The  other  boys  hearing  this,  were 
much  disconcerted ;  and  would,  no  doubt, 
have  molested  Geordie  still  further, 
but  the  little  fellow  no  sooner  heard  Har- 
ry's tacit  consent,  than  he  immediately 
set  off  at  full  speed,  with  the  dog  under 
his  arm,  in  the  direction  of  home. 

When  he  reached  his  home  he  was 
quite  out  of  breath,  and  his  mother  was 
fearful  something  had  happened  to  him. 
"Why,  Geordie,  Geordie,  what  is  the 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  27 

matter  with,  you;  and  what  have  you 
got  under  your  arm  ?" 

Geordie  laid  down  the  dog,  and  the 
sight  of  the  poor  creature,  whose  looks 
told  the  state  of  disease  in  which  it  was, 
made  the  good  woman  quite  afraid  to 
ha,ve  it  in  the  house ;  and,  without  hear- 
ing any  thing  of  the  circumstances  con- 
nected with  the  poor  animal,  or  giving 
Geordie  time  to  explain,  she  declared  it 
should  not  set  foot  in  the  house,  and 
drove  Geordie  and  his  purchase  out  of  it 
together;  telling  the  latter  to  take  it 
from  whence  it  came,  and  that  the  house 
was  not  to  be  converted  into  a  hospital 
for  sick  dogs.  - 

Geordie  was  more  disconcerted  than 
ever ;  he  went  into  the  fields,  with  the 


28  GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

dog  under  Ms  arm ;  now  lie  laid  it  down 
and  patted  it ;  then  he  talked  to  it ;  and, 
in  his  childish  manner,  tried  to  comfort 
it.  The  poor  creature  looked  up  to  Geor- 
die, and  wagged  its  tail,  and  seemed 
quite  glad  to  find  somebody  could  feel 
for  it. 

"  Ay,  that  is  the  way  of  these  lady- 
folks,^  thought  Geordie  to  himself;  "they 
like  their  pets,  and  fondle  them  enough 
while  they  look  pretty  and  frisk  about, 
and  play  and  jump ;  but,  when  they  get 
sick,  and  ill,  or  old,  then  they  hang  or 
drown  them.  I  wonder  what  makes 
them  do  it." 

What  to-do  with  the  dog  Geordie  did 
not  know.  At  last,  however,  he  bethought 
himself  that  he  would  take  him  up  into 


GEOKDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  29 

a  little  loft,  over  a  small  stable  which  his 
father  had,  and  there  make  him  a  nice 
bed  with  some  hay,  and  try  and  make 
him  better. 

And  so  he  mounted  the  ladder,  and  got 
into  the  loft.  He  soon  made  the  poor 
thing  a  bed,  and  then  he  thought  he 
would  get  him  something  to  eat;  but 
Geordie  had  no  money. 

He  had,  however,  a  good  many  mar- 
bles, for  Geordie  was  a  capital  hand  at 
ring-taw,  and  so  he  took  his  marble-bag, 
and  went  into  the  green,  were  several 
boys  were  playing,  and  very  soon  sold 
his  marbles.  They  produced  four-pence, 
for  there  were  more  than  fifty,  at  sixteen 
a  penny. 

He  then  bought  some  dog's  meat  at 


30  GEORDIE  AXD  THE  SICK  DOG. 

the  butcher's,  and  a  halfpenny  worth  of 
milk,  and  a  halfpenny  worth  of  sulphur 
to  mix  with  the  milk ;  for  somebody  once 
said  in  his  hearing,  that  sulphur  and 
milk  were  good  physic  for  dogs. 

He  then  washed  the  animal  and  fed 
him ;  and  with  washing,  and  physicing, 
and  comforting,  in  a  few  days  the  poor 
dog  regained  his  strength ;  in  a  few  days 
more  he  regained  his  coat ;  and  it  was 
not  many  days  before  he  was  as  welLas 
ever. 

Geordie  then  ventured  to  bring  him 
into  his  father  and  mother ;  who,  seeing 
the  animal  gijite Changed  in  appearance, 
and  a  lively,  handsome,  little  dog,  and 
not  very  old,  were  quite  pleased  with 
him ;  and  no  less  pleased  with  their  son's 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.     .        31 

conduct,  when*  he  explained  to  them  all 
about  it. 

Some  weeks  after  this,  Lady  Clover 
came  through  the  village,  in  her  carriage, 
as  usual,  and  was  astonished  to  behold 
her  little  dog  sitting,  with  his  fore-paws 
out  of  Geordie' s  mother's  parlor  window, 
just  as  he  used  to  sit  out  in  her  lady- 
ship's carriage. 

Lady  Clover  alighted,  and  went  to- 
wards the  house.  The  dog  immediately 
Tbegan  to  bark,  nor  would  the  soft  tones 
of  the  lady's  voice  by  any  means  pacify 
him.  In  a  few  minutes  she  learned  the 
whole  of  her  former  pet's  -history,  and 
wished  to  have  him  again.  "  She  would 
give  Geordie  a  crown  for  him,"  she  said ; 
but  Geordie  would  not  sell  his  dog. 


32          ,    GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

"  No,  I  thank  you,  my  lady."  "  Bow- 
wow, wow/7  said  the  little  dog.  "He 
might  be  sick  again,  my  lady,  and  then 
he  would  be  drowned,  my  lady."  "  Bow- 
wow, wow — bow-wow,  wow." 

"  Keep  the  plaguesome  creature  quiet," 
said  her  ladyship,  "  and  hear  me."  "  Bow- 
wow, wow,  wow,  wow,  wow,  wow,"  said 
the  dog. 

Her  ladyship  could  not  obtain  a  hear- 
ing, and  left  the  cottage  in  high  dis- 
pleasure. . "  I  would  not  sell  him  for  his 
weight  in  gold,"  said  Geordie,  "not  to 
Lady  Clover." 

It  was  some  years  after  this  that 
Geordie  grew  almost  a  man,  and  Chloe, 
for  that  was  the  dog's  name,  grew  old ; 
Geordie's  father  had  prospered  in  life; 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  33 

and,  from  being  a  poor  cottager,  had  be- 
come a  small  farmer. 

One  night  he  returned  home  with  a 
considerable  sum  of  money,  arising  from 
the  sale  of  his  crops,  the  principal  part 
of  which  he  had  to  pay  away  to  his  land- 
lord in  a  few  days. ' 

Some  evil-disposed  fellows  had  obtain- 
ed a  knowledge  of  this  money  being  in 
the  house,  and  determined  to  break  into 
and  rob  it, — perhaps  to  murder  those 
who  might  oppose  them. 

It  was  a  very  dark  night,  and  all  were 
sound  asleep,  when  Black  Bill  and  two 
companions,  approached  on  tip-toe,  to 
make  an  entrance  in  the  back  premises. 

By  means  of  a  centre-bit,  they  had 
soon  cut  a  panel  out  of  the  wash-house 
3 


34  aEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG. 

door;  they  then  entered  the  kitchen 
without  making  the  least  noise.  Black 
Bill  had  a  large  carving-knife  in  one 
hand,  and  a  dark  lantern  in  the  other; 
and  supposing  the  money  to  be  in  the 
bed-room,  was  mounting  the  stairs,  to 
take  it  at  any  hazard. 

The  stairs  creaked  with  the  weight  of 
the  robber,  and  in  a  moment  Chloe 
aroused  the  whole  house  with  her  bark- 
ing— her  shrill  voice  was  heard  in  every 
room.  In  a  moment  Geordie  was  up,  and 
his  father's  blunderbuss  at  his  shoulder. 

"Speak,  or  I'll  fire,"  said  he.  No  an- 
swer,— but  a  scampering  through  the 
passage.  Geordie  followed — he  heard  the 
robbers  making  their  escape ;  he  fired — 
the  robber  fell. 


GEORDIE  AND  THE  SICK  DOG.  35 

Lights  were  procured.  It  was  found 
that  the  fellow  was  only  slightly  wound- 
ed in  the  leg,  which  prevented  his  running 
away.  In  the  morning  it  was  discovered 
who  the  robber  was — it  was  the  very  boy, 
now  grown  a  man,  who  had  the  cord  and 
the  brick-bats ! 

Chloe  did  not  live  long  after  this,  but 
died  of  sheer  old  age ;  not,  however,  you 
see,  till  she  had  amply  repaid  the  kind- 
ness which  had  been  bestowed  upon  her 
by  Geordie.  Learn  from  this,  my  little 
readers,  a  lesson  of  humanity." 


A  LITTLE  CHILD'S  JOT, 

WHAT  joy  it  is  from  day  to  day, 
To  skip  and  sing,  and  dance  and  play, 
To  breathe  the  air,  to  feel  the  sun, 
And  o'er  the  spangled  meadows  run. 

What  joy  to  move  my  limbs  about, 
To  hoop  and  halloo,  call  and  shout, 
Among  the  woods,  and  feel  as  free 
As  any  bird  upon  a  tree. 

What  joy,  when  hungry,  to  eat, 
What  pleasure  is  our  daily  meat ; 
How  sweet  when  sleep  the  eyelids  close, 
To  sink  in  calm  and  soft  repose. 
(36) 


A  LITTLE  CHILD'S  JOY. 


A  LITTLE  CHILD'S  JOY,  39 

What  joy,  as  morn  begins  to  break, 
Refreshed  and  vigorous  to  awake ; 
To  feel,  amid  the  dews  and  flowers, 
New  life  bestowed  on  all  my  powers. 

But  who  bestows  this  constant  joy 
On  every  little  girl  or  boy  ? 
'Tis  God,  our  Father,  bright  and  wise, 
"Whose  goodness  every  joy  supplies. 

Then  let  me  love  and  praise  the  Lord, 
And  strive  to  know  his  holy  Word ; 
To  do  no  wrong,  and  think  no  ill, 
And  evermore  perform  his  will. 


PEATEE. 

KNEEL,  my  child,  for  GOD  is  here ! 
Bend  in  love  and  not  in  fear ; 
Kneel  before  him  now  in  prayer, 
Thank  him  for  his  constant  care ; 
Praise  him  for  his  bounty  shed, 
Every  moment  on  thy  head  : 
Ask  him  to  point  out  thy  way, 
And  to  guard  thee  through  the  day ; 
Ask  him  still  to  watch  and  keep 
Thee  in  the  silent  hour  of  sleep 
Ask  for  light  to  know  his  word, 
Ask  for  love  to  shed  abroad ; 
Pray  for  strength,  for  thou  art  weak, 
And  for  grace  and  mercy  seek.

THE    PKAYER, 


PKAYER.  43 

Ask  for  faith  to  bear  thee  on, 
Through  the  might  of  Christ  his  son ; 
Pray  for  mercy  in  his  name, 
Who  from  heaven,  to  save  thee,  came ;. 
Ask  his  Spirit  still  to  guide  thee, 
Through  the  ills  that  may  betide  thee ; 
Ask  for  peace,  to  lull  to  rest 
Every  tumult  of  thy  breast ; 
Ask  his  soul-sustaining  truth, 
As  the  spring-dew  of  thy  youth ; 
Ask  his  Promises,  to  bless 
Thee  in  thy  age's  helplessness ; 
Ask  in  awe,  but  not  in  fear ; — 
Kneel,  my  child,  for  God  is  here ! 

God  thy  Father  is,  and  friend, 
Thy  only  stay,  thy  only  trust ; 

He  loves  thee, — and  his  wings  extend 
To  shield  thee,  though  a  child  of  dust. 


44  PRAYER. 

Love  him  then,  for  he  is  good ; 

Sink  before  him,  he  is  wise ; 
Life  and  health,  and  rest  and  food, 

He  still  ordains,  and  still  supplies. 
Love  him,  for  he  lovet/i  thee, 

Bendeth  now  thy  prayer  to  hear ; 
Kneel,  then,  in  deep  humility, 

And  pray,  my  child,  for  God  is  near. 


THE    SQUIRREL. 


THE  SQUIBREL. 

OH,  nimble  little  squirrel,  how  blithe  you  hop  about, 
From  twig  to  twig,  from  branch  to  branch,  now  in  yo«ii 

hole,  now  out. 
From  spray  to  stump  you  leap  and  jump,  and  frisk  away 

all  day, 

Your  bushy  tail  upon  the  wind ;  you  seem  to  say,  Hurrah, 
Hurrah  for  life  and  liberty  !  Hurrah  !  hurrah  !  hurrah  !  » 
And  then,  with  light  and  frisky  bound,  again  you  are  away. 
Now,  now  upon  your  heels  you  sit,  just  like  a  little  Punch, 
With  eye  askance,  in  knowing  glance,  your  nut  or  acorn 

munch. 

Oh,  who  could  ever  wish  to  see  thee  prison' d  or  confin'd, 
And  put  within  an  iron  cage,  to  torture  and  to  bind?  inde 
Yet  some  there  are,  with  cruel  hearts,  that  love  to  smite 

thee  down, 

Or  capture  thee  in  traps  and  nets,  for  pleasure  of  their  own ; 
Will  steal  thy  gentle  little  ones  and  take  away  thy  nest, 
And  let  thee  moan  amid  the  woods  the  dear  things  of  thy 

breast ; 

(47) 


48  THE  SQUIRREL. 

Will  bring  them  up  in  bondage  foul,  whom  God  created 

free, 

And  look  upon  thy  dungeon-box  with  fell  and  wicked  glee. 
Oh,  pretty  little  squirrel,  I  could  not  serve  you  so, 
I'll  watch  you  in  your  native  woods,  now  skipping  to  and 

fro. 

I  could  not  bear  to  coop  you  up,  nor  place  on  you  a  chain, 
For  all  the  trees,  and  fruits,  and  flowers,  these  noble  woods 

contain. 

But  rather  let  me  watch  and  see  you  hide  your  little  store 
Of  nuts  and  fruits  for  winter's  day,  when  storms  are  blow- 
ing sore ; 

And  looking  thus,  a  lesson  learn,  to  harbor  and  provide 
For  future  days  and  darksome  hours,  that  haply  may  betide. 
May  I,  like  you,  dear  little  thing,  lay  in  by  early  youth, 
The  treasures  of  religion  and  the  jewel-gems  of  truth; 
That  when  the   wintrv  hour  comes  on,  and  life  is  at  its 

seer 

I  still  may  find  some  other  food  to  comfort  and  to  cheer. 
Oh,  knowing  this,  then  let  me  be  as  gay  and  blithe  as  you, 
And  bound  and  jump,  and  skip  and  play,  and  be  delighted 

too ; 

And  keep  from  sin  and  evil,  free  as  you  are  in  this  wood, 
And  taste  the  highest  joy  on  earth,  in  being  kind  and  good.
